Translation of the song Laieta artist Catalan Folk

Si fós ocellet aniria volant,

If I were a little bird I'd fly

i a ca' la Laieta, aniria a parlar.

and to Laieta's house I'd go to talk.

Son pare em diria:

Her father would say to me:

Què voleu, l'hereu?

What do you want, young heir?.

Vinc per la Laieta, si me la doneu.

I've come for Laieta, if you'll give her to me.

Torneu demà vespre

Come back tomorrow evening

de bon matí; si ella us volia,

or early in the morning, if she wants you1

jo dire que sí.

I'll give her to you.2

La noia bonica diu que sí que ho vol,

The pretty girl says that she wants him,

i a la matinada canta el rossinyol.

and at dawn the nightingale sings.

Laieta, Laieta, Laieta, Lajeta,

Laieta, Laieta, Laieta, Lajeta,

Laieta bonica diu que sí que ho vol.

pretty Laieta says that she wants him.
